After devouring the souls of all the Chimeric Undead Giants that were trying to run away back to their Master, Blake felt his Physique growing stronger once more.
[Vampiric Blood Emperor Physique: Tier 2] Rank has increased from Rank 8 to Rank 10!]
[All your stats have increased]
[Blood and Darkness Element Magic has become stronger]
[Your Senses have been sharpened permanently]
[Your Physical Strength has been enhanced permanently]
Now that he had reached Rank 10 of Tier 2, Blake only needed to eat another set of tasty souls to reach Tier 3 Physique, a huge thing for someone his age. It meant that his Physique would finally become decently powerful and he might be able to develop brand new Vampiric Powers, just as he had originally planned since he created this Physique when he was younger.
"Excellent, and just in time for the main dish."
Blake looked at the Giant Bone Golem and the two High Rotten Giants, the three strongest Undead immediately decided to fight, seeing that the fight of their master against his rival might be interrupted by Blake and company.
The Bone Golem resembled a throne made of bones, but it quickly began to reassemble itself, as millions of bones began floating around and turning into a gigantic chimeric beast-shaped bone creature, with multiple heads and large bone wings, which were then covered by phantasmal essence.
"OOOOOOHHHH!"
Hundreds of wailing souls echoed from within the enormous Giant Bone Golem which now gained the name of "Chimera" by using the bones of countless monsters and beasts to take shape, of course, this included humans as well. The enormous Golem Chimera quickly reached over 25 meters of height, smaller than the Hydra they fought before, but still incredible powerful and intimidating.
The other two High Rotten Giants were not as strong, but certainly more powerful than the Chimeric Undead Giants, their bodies were amorphous masses of black and red flesh with countless jaws and eyes spread across their bodies, alongside sharp bony spikes for protection. They immediately grew two sets of over twenty legs and arms from different organisms they have assimilated, such as monsters, beasts, or humans, and began marching towards their foes without wasting a single second.
Blake immediately realized they were not stupid either, not charging together but separating. The two High Rotten Giants surrounded the group led by Blake and made them stick together almost forcefully, while the Giant Bone Golem Chimera charged upfront. Several of its body bones began to fly around like a swarm of flies, being directed towards Blake's group. Their sharp shapes and quantity might instantly shred into pieces anybody that was caught in between their bones.
The entire group knew this, as they immediately began to combine their magic together with Ellergest's last help, his domain left behind. Using Blake's idea, Seth, Jack, and Elizabeth conjured their Magic Auras and combined them with their weapons. Eric was immediately prompted to join their Ritual Magic, fusing his Nature and Life Element that went so well with Holy Light Element.
"If we want to defeat that thing… We'll have to use that again." Blake said to Eric, quickly taking out a large branch from his pocket, it was the Lesser Yggdrasil Tree Branch!
"Eh?! What do you mean?!" Asked Eric in shock.
"Yggdrasil Wood has an amazing magic storage capacity; it can channel holy light and life magic the most. Use this as a staff to channel your power." Blake handed another three branches to Elizabeth, Jack, and Seth. The trio felt slightly confused.
"What the heck is this for?!" Asked Jack.
"Is this just a tree branch?" Seth asked.
"No… We used this before to defeat a powerful Undead Hydra, just trust Blake!" Elizabeth said.
"But then what do we do with this? We were planning to unleash a combined Ritual Spell against the Bone Golem; how can the branches improve anything?" Asked Jack.
"Eric, Elizabeth lead them, I'll distract the Bone Golem with everyone else. I am counting on you two." Said Blake, without explaining anything else to the hotheaded man, and jumping into battle with everyone else.
"Blake!" Erika quickly ran behind Blake, as her sword unleashed a powerful vertical slash of her Ki, such technique often referred as Aura Slash.
CLAAASH!
An enormous mass of bones was about to hit Blake from above but was luckily stopped by Erika. Blake knew he had her with him, but Eleanora was also there, jumping out of Blood and immediately concentrating her Aether and Mana from Blake into her spear, making an ever-growing aura of Aether grow larger, spiraling outwards and shining crimson red, shaping itself into a furious dragon!
"Blood Spear Arts: Thunderous Blood Sea!"
FLUOOOSSSSHHH!!!
The enormous spiraling sea of blood hit the mass of bones, impacting it further and pushing it away. Each bone was destroyed into tiny ashes as they were consumed by the powerful attack Eleanora unleashed. For a moment, the entire surroundings became pure red as the blood sea consumed the enormous Bone Golem, without affecting it as much, but keeping it on place for a while.
SPLAAAASH!
"GRUOOOHHHHH…!"
The Bone Golem struggled to get out of the enormous bubble of blood that Eleanora ended conjuring, as it began to slowly tear apart the bubble using its enormous bony limbs.
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
However, it was still held still tightly, as Blake was given the time to act as well, having already activated both of his Demonic Eyes, the Demonic Eye of Gravity and Paralysis combined together with Intimidation!
FLASH!
An electrifying wave of power reached the Golem Chimera, putting it on place for a longer time, all while the rest of the group was fighting with the two ferocious High Rotten Giants coming from left and right rapidly!
"I can only keep this up for half a minute… Eric hurry!" Blake roared back at his friend, as the furious Bone Golem roared, unleashing bones outside of the bubble and trying to attack Blake while he was on place trying to concentrate to keep the bone golem in there.
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!
